Wow. Just... wow. This fragrance is unlike anything my nose has encountered in recent memory. As a seasoned perfume collector I rarely encounter a scent that genuinely surprises me. But this one? Goosebumps. Literal goosebumps. At the heart of this olfactory delight is a rich, charismatic coffee note — the star of the show. The opening features a zingy burst of ginger that keeps things fresh for about an hour, before gracefully stepping aside for the warm trio of amber, vanilla, and leather. Together, they swirl into a creamy coffee concoction so comforting, you’ll want to wrap yourself in it like a luxurious throw blanket. Longevity and projection? On point — much like most of Regalien’s offerings. In short: this is a must-sniff. But, as always, sample before committing.

Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the warm kaleidoscope of gourmand and spicy notes of this unique perfume. The exclusive notes of fine Turkish coffee and lokum will take you directly to Turkey, during the coffee ritual, to experience a moment of pleasure and relaxation while sipping a sweet and fragrant coffee on a soft leather sofa accompanied by the typical sweet, lokum, while establish or strengthen social relationships with your fellow diners.

A sophisticated perfume. Requires perfume experience. It is not suitable for general taste. It wants a stone house, boutique hotel, fireplace, Turkish coffee and nostalgia. It is a perfume for collection purposes rather than daily use. If the city of Mardin had a smell, this would be it, its streets would smell like this.

To be honest, I tested it just for 1 day, but it was enough to understand that it is not my type of fragrance at all. In order to describe the scent, it is literally: Arabian desert, caramelized dates, Turkish delights ,closed in a bottle. Even though it is really strong and sharp scent, its sillage is moderate . I personally will not spray it on myself again.

I just got this yesterday and after it sat in my mailbox a few hours in the FL heat, I sprayed it and only got a nasty cigarette smell. I should have waited but usually I have no issue with using my perfumes the first day I get them. I only bought a 5ml sample but I was so disappointed. However, I am going to let her sit and macerate because I have faith the notes I like will come out... Fingers crossed. Out of my 200+ decant collection, if this scent doesnt change, it will be the first one I actually dislike and cannot wear. :( I will update my review if the notes change. Edited 3/24 - Ok the stale cigarette smell is slowly going away thank God! I’m going to wait a few more weeks and try again.
